by building 3 coffee · colorado springs, usa
expect sugar cane. this is colombia decaf, a colombia from building 3 coffee.
the primary character here is sweetness from the sugar cane decaf process, giving the cup a clean, mild profile without the bitterness that can sometimes come with other decaffeination methods.
it's grown in cauca, colombia, using the caturra varietal, and decaffeinated via the sugar cane process, which uses naturally derived ethyl acetate to remove caffeine while keeping the coffee's sweetness largely intact.
a pour over or french press works well here, as slower brew methods tend to highlight the clean sweetness that the sugar cane process leaves behind.
...and that's the thing about coffee culture here. building 3 sits on north cascade, where the foothills start their gentle climb toward the mountains. you can feel the altitude working on your system, which makes finding a proper roaster all the more essential. they've carved out a reputation among people who know their beans from their blends. no pretense, just careful attention to what ends up in the cup. the regulars keep coming back because consistency matters when you're dealing with something as finicky as specialty coffee. mornings here have a different rhythm than what you'll find downtown. quieter, maybe. more focused on the actual coffee than the scene around it. their roasting approach leans toward bringing out what's already there in the beans rather than burying it under heavy manipulation. simple concept, harder execution than most places manage. the pour-over on a tuesday morning hits different when someone actually cares about water temperature.
